How to Shift Left with Microservices Visibility

Managing dozens or hundreds of distributed services and microservices on a scale can be very challenging. As developers, we are often blind to how our application behaves in production and the areas we need to check to find and prevent issues early on in the development process before deploying new versions.

In this talk, we’ll show you how to leverage the open source OpenTelemetry to collect and analyze the relevant data from production as well as how to use it during the pre-production, development and testing phases to improve your code quality and overall success in preventing issues before deployment. By relying on production behavior, we can automatically generate more efficient tests, catch dependencies that are about to break in real life, and have our developers be more productive and product-oriented.

Destination: Automation is a free, digital event exploring ways organizations can embrace automation to make their applications and underlying tech stacks more efficient, secure and resilient.
